HAUNTED

ful vision That Appears 20 ungsr IN Als
Cen.
NEW YoRK, March 1S.-Edward Unger,
who was sent to Sing Sing for life for the
murder Of August Bohle, is now in the
hospital Of the prison, sufferer from
nervous prostration. His physical strength
before his trial was great, and his steadi-
ness Of nerve in court was surprising,
but hts stamina 10 oil gone, and he has
become miserable covering wreck.
On the first morning in the prison
he told keeper that he had been visited
during the night by his dismembered vic
tim, who had proceeded to reconstruct
himself in the terrified prisoners pres
encs. OF this dream he could not be dis
sbused He seemed to believe 1t was real
ity. Every night IL came to him,
and ct the end Of . week he was
much broken down. In the hospital It
has been the same with him, except
when he IL kept very soundly asleep under
narcotic influence. He dreams that the
mangled pieces Of his friend are strewn
about the room, where they lie awhile in
animately, ss they did before he packed
the body in the trunk and threw the head
into the river. Then the fragments begin
10 quiver. Soon they move slowly toward
each other, until they are in heap. Next
they adjust themselves into human form.
But the head 10 missing. At length that,
too, comes into the room, with
It's hair dripping with the water
Of the river in which II has lain. With q
horrible smile on its face, It places itself on
the shoulders of the figure and menaces the
murderer. Unger shrieks out at this
point and the apparition vanishes from
his imagination. All efforts have failed to
relieve him Of these visions, and the prison
physician advises his removal to the State
Asylum for Lunatic Criminals.

"A Belgian textile manufacturer has

Some idea Of the wonderful progress
now being made in microscopical sci-
ence may be formed by the fact, as sta
ted by the President of the British As
sociation lately, that. results are now
attained in this line which mathemati-
clans Rve years ago declared to be inn
possible.
For some months past there hss
been in use on the street railways of
Melbourne, Australia, . locomotive
worked by means Of gas. Four copper
cylinders are employed to hold the gas,
which is compressed to $50 pounds
square inch. These reservoirs contain
sufficient gas for a run of about fifteen
miles. The locomotive weighs about
one and half tons.
The NorthWestern Lumbern,an
prints statistics as to the lumber trade
Of the Northwest for 1886, with COM
parisons with the product of former
years. The grand total of the white
pine lumber product of the Northwest
for 1886 was 7.425. 1868, 900 feet. This is
$40, 1000, 900 feet in excess Of the preced-
ing year, and is only slightly short Of
the total cut for the years 1882, 1888
and 1884.
One Of the smallest oscillating
engines in the country was made not
long ago by citizen of Baltimore, Md.
It is about half as large As q collar
button, and is hidden completely be-
meath q child's thimble. Its bore is
one-sixteenth of an inch, and its stroke
one-eighth. The wheel, shaft and
crank weigh eight grains, the cylinder
five, and the stand and pillar twelve
grains, making the whole weight one
pennyweight one grain. Run by COM
pressed air, it makes three thousand
revolutions q minute.
The fact has been satisfactorily
established by various scientific re-
searches, that many substances absorb
luminous rays during the day, and at
night emit these rays in such manner
as to impress Photographic plates. al
though they may not be perceptible to
the unaided eye. Artists have not
only succeeded in photographing the
visible night phosphoresoence Of Mont
Blanc's summit, but have even secured
an impression Of midnight landscape
invisible to the eye-on the terrace
Of the observatory at Prague.

OSCAR NEEBE
Permitted to View the Remains Of
His Dead Wife.


CHICAGO, March 9.-For the first time in
half year, since he was pronounced gull
ty, Oscar Neebe, the Anarchist, left the
jail. At the request Of himself and his
friends, Neebe was this afternoon taken
from the county jail to the home Of his
brother, on Sedgwick street, that he might
look once more on the features Of his wife,
who died day before yesterday. Neebe
was taken from his cell by Jsiler
Folse. He looked stouter than
ever, but very pale. His clothing
was shabby, his overcoat seedy, and his
once jaunty slouch hat covered with dust.
He was smoking . cigar. Deputy Sheriff
Spears and the brothers hurried out, step
ped into the carriage in the alley and were
driven rapidly out. Neebe and the deputy
stepped into tho death chamber unherald-
ed. As Neebe's glance alighted on the
coffin Of his wife he broke down COM
pletely and fell to the floor, big drops of
tears rolling down his deathly pale face.
Meta! Metal" he exclaimed repeatedly
addressing himself to his wife. The pris-
oner remained at the cofin, and for twenty
minutes seemed in torpor. Slowly
his eyes began to move around. He recog.
nized his friends, embraced his father,
kissed his children, and finally with the
words, II guess we better CO." directed to
the officer, left the room and soon after
ward was conducted back to the Jail. Tho
funeral of Mrs. Neebe has been set for
IL 80 Sunday afternoon. The ceremonies
will be held in Muller's Hall, Socialistic
resort. DR.. Ernst Schmidt will prob
ably deliver an address. All the labor
organizations represented in the Central
Labor Union (Socialistic) will march to the
hall, and from there procession will fol-
low the body to Graceland, where it is to
be inferred. A number Of singing asso-
Citations and secret-society lodges have
signified their intention to participate.
Ferdinand Spies and Conrad Neebe called
on Mayor Harrison this evening and asked
for q permit for Mrs. Neebe's funeral.
They were informed none was needed.
The two then stated that undoubtedly
there would be bands of music and .
large procession. Therefore legal author
ity was wanted to carry out arrangements
without molestation. The mayor replied
that, while he would advise quiet cere-
mony, they would not be interfered with
SO long IS they kept within the bounds Of
law. The police captains of the city will
tomorrow hold conference to consider
what arrangements on their part are nec-

the STORY OF a Wlo.


A Huge Soke IN a0eo4 at The ExpeWoe 0Ro
1oula-Bs Ntsrary Woman.
=. The mention Of Cambridge reminds
me, although the connection Is not very
Gloss, how party Of Americans were
taken through European tour last
summer by professor living in that
classical town, from whom, It may be
well to state, I did not hear this story.
In the party was one Mrs. A., in a sort
an authoress, who did not have the good
fortune to make herself popular with
her fellow travellers. One evening sew
eral Of the company attended the thea
ter in Paris, and Mrs. A., conspicuous
ly arrayed with splendor somewhat
more youthful than her years war;
ranted, rather rudely insisted in put:
ting herself in the best place. Another
lady ventured mildly to protest that
Mrs. A. was taking mp the room Of two.
and that she, personally, was very
poorly placed, but nothing was effected
by this remonstrance. Mrs. A.. con-
conspicuous and triumphant, sat and
plumed herself in the box, until by
some dreadful chance she leaned too
far forward and down into the box be-
low went the wig with which she was
accustomed to cover her scanty locks.
The unhap py woman uttered shrek
and retreated to the back Of the box,
where she overed her head with the
handkerchief and wept bitterly. Miss
B., the lady who had shortly before
tried to induce Mrs. A. to- be reasonable
in her claims on the space in the box,
now came gallantly to the rescue. She
suppressed her lauglte and began y
mental review of Ter French, 80 that
by the end of the act she felt competent
to grapple With the situation in the
tongue of Inc land. Leaning over, she
MANAGED by calls, coughs and more or
less Ineligible EXPLANATIONS. to attract
the attention Of the gentlemen in the
box below. The wig had fallen back
of their chairs, SO that it was some time
before the Frenchmen could compre-
hend what was the desire of the bright
eyed American lady who. with her face
wickedly full of mischief. was address,
ing them from the box above. An un-
derstanding was at last arrived at, how
ever, and with all the politeness and
grace of his nation one of the strangers
elevated the wig on the point of his
cane, and in the face of the whole
opera house it rose from one tier of
boxes to the other. The audience ap-
plauded, the unfort unate owner Of the
head-gea. noaned in the corner, while
with the mir of Goddess of Liberty
who stoops to rescue nation from q
depth of slavery, Miss B. leaned over
and secured the truant tresses. The
incident is, of course, less funny in the
telling than it was in the acting, but 1t
may be inferred that at least for few
days Mrs. A. was somewhat subdued.

THE FLEET,No COOK.

A Little Story which Throws Considerable
Light ON . Certain Glass Of Women.
Here is story on q certain class Of
mistresses- class that is not numer-
GUS. but is peculiar to the ranks of the
vulgar rich' who are SO scorchingly
described by Ouida. A lady comes a
stranger to Buffalo, her husband an
army officer, ordered here on special
duty. She at once breaks into house,
keeping and deems herself fortunate in
securing really good cook. One
morning while rejecting upon her luck
in finding such q kitchen treasure
and she is stranger in strange place
she sees fine establishment-splen-
did sleigh, fine horses, swell coachman
drive, up to her door. From the
sleigh steps out a very handsome
specimen of womanhood, elegantly
costumed. Our army woman, suspect
ing that she is to be made the recip-
lent of q little Buffalo welcome and hos
pitality, steps to the mirror. gives her
bangs little twist and prinks up
hastily. She hears the door bell ring;
soon after hears voices in the parlor.
But there is NO summons for her, and
in five minutes, more or less, the SUI
perbly dressed visitor aforesaid leaves
the house and drives of. The second
girl being asked for an explanation. re-
plies that the lady asked to see the
cook, and that functionary soon informs
her army mistress that she has had an
offer of much higher wages II she will
leave at once. and that the offer Is too
tempting to refuse. Protest Is ineffect-
ual, and wondering whether that Is the
way of doing things in Buffalo. the dis
comfited housekeeper submits to the
result and goes out to hunt after another
cook. A few days pass. and tho sleigh.
The coachman and same elegant speci-
men of the femin inc gender again come
up to the door, and this time the lady
Of tile house is certainly asked for.
With some reluctance and considerable
smothered indignation she goes down.
but is soon disabused Of any notion that
the .'lady" is going to ''makc y call. "
She briefly explains her errand-admits
that she is the woman who induced the
cook to leave. and complains that she 10

.'splendid cook who used to live with
her wants to come back, and she. Of
course. feels under obligations to get
the other cook place, seeing that she
urged her to leave. j. She, therefore. asks
our army woman il she Is willing to take
back her original cook ..as personal
fayor.' Beg pardon, reader. Did you
say ''Well, Iswear!" That's just what
we said when we heard the story. and
